Overview

  • Tom Brady becomes the first Patriots player to be immortalized with a bronze statue honoring his two-decade tenure.
  • Owner Robert Kraft commissioned the 12-foot likeness from a Foxboro sculptor following Brady’s 2024 jersey retirement and Hall of Fame induction.
  • After a year-long delay caused by Brady’s FOX broadcasting commitments, the ceremony will take place Friday at Patriot Place Plaza before the preseason game against the Washington Commanders.
  • Fans will be admitted to the plaza four hours before kickoff, with WBZ-TV and the Patriots’ website providing live coverage and in-stadium video board viewing.
  • Brady led New England to six Super Bowl titles and 17 division championships, and he will join Kraft on stage to unveil the statue.
